One of the classic stories: Life at seventy

God makes everything. The cow was first made, and God said to the cow, You go to the world to plow and open up wasteland, and give you a life span of 5 years. Niu Yi, listen, no, it's too hard. I just want to live for 2 years, and God agreed. He also made a monkey, and said to the monkey, go to the world to amuse everyone and give you a life span of 2 years. Hearing this, the monkey said, I can't. I just want to be 1 years old, and God agreed. I also made a dog, let the dog show people the door, and give it a life span of 2 years. When the dog listens, I want to live as long as 1 years as the monkey. Finally, I made a man and said to him, let you go to the world to have fun and give you a life span of 2 years. People are very happy to hear this, but they feel that life expectancy is too short. Let God increase life expectancy, and God will give people all the life expectancy that cows, monkeys and dogs don't want. You see, people nowadays don't have to worry about eating, drinking and having fun before the age of 2, but enjoy themselves. During the period of 2 ~ 5 years old, he was like an ox, struggling to support his family; From 5 to 6 years old, he became an old child like a monkey, making everyone laugh and laugh; He became a dog at the age of 6 ~ 7, retired at home, and when the children went out to play and watch movies, they said to the old man, "Dad, we went out and you watched the door at home."

The second classic story: the chicken's sense of crisis

The chicken realized that "it takes an egg every day for the master's knife to stand aside; If you don't lay an egg for ten days and a half months, it's strange that you won't be killed. " Chicken's advertising awareness is higher than duck's, and duck's egg is bigger than egg's, but it is not as common as egg's, and the protein nutritional value of egg is high. The meat and poultry eggs mentioned during the festival are rich, and this egg is an egg. After the chicken is finished, it will publicize "big, big, big".

the third classic story: the monk in the temple

Everyone who has been to the temple knows that upon entering the temple gate, the Buddha Amitabha is the first to greet guests with a smiling face, while in the north of him, it is Wei Tuo with a black mouth and a black face. But according to legend, a long time ago, they were not in the same temple, but were in charge of different temples.

Mile Buddha is enthusiastic and happy, so many people come, but he doesn't care about anything, and he doesn't manage his accounts properly, so he still makes ends meet. And although Wei Tuo is a cook in charge of accounts, he keeps a gloomy face all day, which is too serious, making fewer and fewer people, and finally the incense is cut off.

Buddha found this problem when he was looking for incense, so he put them in the same temple, and Mile Buddha was in charge of public relations, smiling at guests from all directions, so the incense flourished. While Wei Tuo is impartial, and he will be better than others, so he is put in charge of finance and strictly controlled. In the division of labor and cooperation between the two people, the temple is thriving.

the fourth classic story: the shopkeeper buys a parrot

A person went to buy a parrot and saw the front sign of a parrot: this parrot can speak two languages, and the price is 2 yuan.

The other parrot was marked: This parrot can speak four languages, and the price is 4 yuan.

which one should I buy? Both of them are glossy, very flexible and lovely. The man turned around and couldn't make up his mind.

As a result, I suddenly found a parrot with an old tooth missing. Its coat color was dim and messy, and the price was 8 yuan.

The man quickly called the boss: "Does this parrot speak eight languages?"

The shopkeeper said, "No."

This person is surprised: "Then why are you old, ugly and incompetent, and are you worth this number?"

The shopkeeper replied, "Because the other two parrots call this parrot boss."

This story tells us that a real salesman doesn't necessarily have a strong ability. As long as he knows how to trust, delegate and cherish, he can unite forces stronger than himself, thus enhancing his worth. On the contrary, many people with very strong abilities are too perfectionist and hands-on, and no one is as good as themselves. In the end, they can only be the best researchers and sales representatives, but they can't be excellent salesmen.

classic story 5: a psychology professor visits an insane asylum

The madman laughed and said, "I have an idea!" He removed a screw from each tire, so that he got three screws to install the spare tire.

The professor was surprised and grateful, but he was very curious: "How did you come up with this idea?"? "

The madman laughed and said," I'm a madman, but I'm not a fool! "

In fact, many people in the world, because they find pleasure in their work, always show different fanaticism, which is hard to understand. When many people laugh at them as crazy, others may still laugh at him as a nerd. Being dull and being smart is especially a good attitude in China.

but he is very angry. This waiter is so stupid that he asks his name every day and tells him that he can't remember it. It's annoying. Finally, he couldn't help asking the tour guide, "GOOD MORNINGSIR!" What do you mean? The tour guide told him, Oh, my God! ! What a shame.

Chen Atu practices "GOOD MORNINGSIR!" This word, so that you can deal with the waiter with dignity.

Another morning, the waiter knocked at the door as usual. As soon as the door opened, Chen Atu shouted, "GOOD MORNINGSIR!"

At the same time, the waiter shouted, "I'm Chen Atu!"

There is a famous March 8th theory: eight hours of sleep and eight hours of work, which is the same for everyone. The difference between people lies in how they spend their spare time. Time is the most affectionate and heartless thing, and everyone has the same thing, which is very fair. But those who have resources may not be successful, and those who make good use of resources will be successful. Survival in the daytime and development at night are the requirements for talents in the 21st century.

what the hell is going on? My son is puzzled. In the end, there was only one way. He looked around at no one, leaned close to the cow's ear and shouted, "Dad, turn!" "

cows live by conditioned reflex, while people live by habit. A successful person knows how to cultivate good habits instead of bad ones. When more good habits are accumulated, there will naturally be a good life.

Dad replied, "Because Dad is stronger than Mom, Mom is stronger than Brother, and Brother is stronger than you. We will all protect the weaker people. "

Hank looked around, ran over and spread the poncho over a delicate flower swaying in the wind and rain.

Responsibility can make us complete things, and love can make us do things well.

the eleventh classic story: seven people share porridge

seven people once lived together and shared a big bucket of porridge every day. Sadly, porridge is not enough every day.

at first, they drew lots to decide who would share the porridge, one for each day. So every week, they only have one day to be full, that is, the day when they divide their porridge.

Later, they began to elect a virtuous person to share the porridge. Power will produce flattery, and everyone will try their best to please him and bribe him, making the whole clique smoke and smoke.

Then everyone started to form a three-person porridge-sharing committee and a four-person selection committee, attacking each other and wrangling. The porridge was all cold in the mouth.

Finally, I came up with a method: everyone takes turns to divide the porridge, but the people who divide the porridge have to wait for everyone else to pick up the last bowl. In order not to let yourself eat the least, everyone tries to get an average share, even if it is uneven, you can only admit it. Everyone is happy and kind, and the days are getting better.

the same seven people, different distribution systems, will have different ethos. Therefore, if a unit has a bad work atmosphere, it must be a mechanism problem, and it must be not completely fair and open, and there is no strict reward for diligence and punishment for laziness. How to formulate such a system is a problem that every leader needs to consider.

Classic story 12: Little camel in the zoo

The little camel in the zoo asked his mother, "Mom, mom, why are our eyelashes so long?"

The little camel asked again, "Mom, why are our backs so camel and ugly!"

Mother camel said, "This is called hump, which can help us to store a lot of water and nutrients, so that we can endure more than ten days without water and food in the desert."

The little camel asked again, "Mom, why are our soles so thick?"

Mother Camel said, "That can keep our heavy bodies from getting stuck in the soft sand, which is convenient for a long journey."

The little camel was overjoyed: "Wow, we are so useful! ! But mom, why are we still in the zoo and don't go hiking in the desert? "

I was born to be useful, but unfortunately no one is using it now. A good attitude+a successful textbook+an infinite stage = success. Everyone's potential is unlimited, and the key is to find a stage where they can give full play to their potential.
